Madison College invites community members, industry partners, alumni and prospective students to tour its new Construction & Remodeling Facility during an open house and ribbon-cutting celebration on Wednesday, Nov. 19, at the Truax North campus.

This public event offers a firsthand look inside the $10.3 million, 30,000-square-foot facility — a new space built for hands-on learning, innovation and workforce development. 

Guests can explore the new state-of-the-art space, meet faculty and students, learn about the construction and remodeling programs and see demonstrations inside the all-seasons space.

The new construction and remodeling learning facility features meeting space and a student lounge.

The new facility marks an exciting new chapter for Madison College’s Construction & Remodeling program, which has relocated from the Commercial Avenue campus to Truax. The renovated space includes two large workshops designed for roof framing, siding, insulation, and green building demonstrations. Students and faculty will benefit from a modern computer lab and two classrooms, a dedicated lab for power tool and safety instruction and student collaboration areas. High ceilings and large overhead doors enable students to construct sheds, garages and tiny homes indoors.

With enrollment in Madison College’s Construction & Remodeling program steadily rising, the modern facility provides the capacity to expand course offerings and continue meeting the region’s growing demand for highly skilled trades professionals.
